In-Depth Information
Enterprise User Security authentication
: EUS allows you to create and store enterprise users
and roles as directory objects in a directory server compliant with the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol ( LDAP). You can then use EMCTL to set some properties to allow you to
drill into those databases without displaying the standard logon pages.
LDAP authentication
: In previous releases of Enterprise Manager, LDAP authentication was
allowed, but it was restricted to Oracle's LDAP solution, Oracle Internet Directory (OID).
In the 12c release, that has now been extended to allow you to use Microsoft's Active
Directory product in addition to OID.
Summary
This chapter has introduced you to the major architectural components of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c:
the Cloud Control console, the Oracle Management Agent, the Oracle Management Service, the Oracle Management
Repository, and plug-ins. You've looked at options for deploying this architecture and the authentication methods you
can use to connect to EM12c. This chapter also covered the protocols, ports, and firewalls used by EM12c, so you're
now ready to drill into the installation of the product in more detail. That's the subject of our next chapter.
